This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project 

to make the world's books discoverable online. 

It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject 

to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books 

are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover. 

Marks, notations and other maiginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the

Services I am able to render to Your Grace- 
can never be advftntageoui, I am fare not: 
neccffary, to You in any part of your Life. 
However, tbe next piece of Gratitude, and 
the only one I am capable of, is the Ackno w- 
tedgment of what 1 ove : Andastbisistfac' 
moft publick,and indeed the only way I have 
ofdotojsit. Your Gracewill pardon me if! 
take this Opportunity to let the World 
fcnow the Duty and Honour I hadibr Your 
llluftrious Father. Jt is, t eduH cdnfeTs, a 
very tender Point to touch upon y and at the 
£rft fight may feem an ill-chofen Compli- 
ncnt, to xencw the Memory offuch aLofj, 
efpecially to a Difpoficion (b fweet and gen- 
tle, and to a Heart fo feolible of filial Piety 
as Ypur Grace's has .b«ii, even from Your 
earlieft Childhood. But perhapi this is one 
oftbofe Griefs by which the Heart maybe 
made better 1 and if the Remembrance of 
his Death bring Heavinefs along with it, 
the Honourthu is paid to his Memory b^ 
all good Men, fttall wipe away thofeT«ars, 
and the Example of hisLiferetbeforeYouf 
Eyes, fliall be of the greaceH Adraptage tc^ 
Your iGrace in the Condu& and' fmure 
PifpofUion of Your Own. 

In a Chtu-ader fo amiable as thacof the 
J}uti of QiiEEHSBERRY Was, there can be 
BO Put fo proper to begin witb,as that which

was in him, and Is in all good Men, tbft 
FouDdacioQ of all other Viitties, either Re- 
ligious or Civil, I mean Good-sature : Good- 
nature, which is Friendfhtp becweeo Man 
and Man,Good-Breediogin Coarts,Cfaaritjr 
in Religion, and the true Spring of all Be*. 
neficence in geneial. This was a Quality 
he polTcls'd in as great a meafure as any. 
Gentleman lever htd the honour to know.^ 
It was this natural Swcctne& of Temper, 
which made htm thebeftMan in the world 
to live with, in any kind of relatioa It 
wastbismade himagood MaftertohisSer-. 
yants, a good Friend to hu Friends, and the 
tendcreft Father to his Children. For the 
laft, I can have no better Voucher that> 
Your Grace ^ and for the reft, I may appeal 
to all that have had the honour. to know 
him. There was a Spirit and Pleafme in 
his ConverTattoa, which always enliVcn'd 
. theCompany he was in^ which, together 
with a certain Eafinels and I^canknefs in hift 
D^pp0tion, that did not at jiH denuate front

no time more hoaoiirably, mdfai 1 hope) 
ibore hap^ily,both for the prcfenc Agr, and 
for Poftcricy, than when he hid the Fouo-

fttch a piece of SerTice done to his Couatfy 
defcryes. 

He Aiewed upon all Ocea&ons a ftrift and 
immediate Attachment to the Crown, in the 
legal Service of which, no Man could exert 
himfelf more dutifully nor more ftreauoufly : 
And at the fame time no Man gave more 
bold and more generots Evidences of the 
Love 



IDE'DICATION. 

Love he bore to his Coumrr. OFthe Xtx* 
ter, there can be no better Proof than the 
ihare he had in the late happ^ Revolution % 
not of the former, than that dutiful Re- 
fpeft, and uofhiken Fidelity, which he pre- 
ferved for her prefent Majefty, even co hit 
laft Moments. 

With fo many good and great Qaalftiei, ft 
is not at all ftrange that he poHcfs'd fo large 
• %4re, as he was known to have^ in the 
EAeem of theQ(ieea,and herimmediate Pre- 
decdTor ) nor that thofe great Princes fhould 
repblethehigheftCon&deaceinhim: And 
at the fame time, what a Pattern has he left 
behind him forthe Nobility in general, and 
ibrYour Grace in particular to copy after !

ProcUira'd the Tyrant Gle^tr'a cruel Orders. 
On cither fide hermarch'd an ill-look'd Prieft,

Did ever aad inon by tains upbraid her, 
And tliundcT in her trembling Ear Dimnation. 
Around her, nQmberlefs the Kabbic flow'd, 
Shouldring each other, crouding for a View, 
Gaping and gazing, taunting tnd reviling; 
Some pitying, but thofe, alas ! how few ! 
The moll, fuch Iron Hearts we are, and fnch 
'The bafe Barbarity of huoiaftKind, 
with Infolence and lend Reproach porfu'd her.

Bill. With the gentleft Patience, 
SubmifliTe, fad, and \ovr\y was her Look ; 
A burning Taper in her H^nd fhe bore, 
And 00 her Shoulders eareUfly confus'd 
With loofe Negleft her loirely Trefles hung ; 
Upon her Cheek a faintilh Flulh wag fpread. 
Feeble Jhe reem'd, and forely fmit with Pain, 
While bare-foot as flie trod the flinty Pavement, 
Her Footfteps all along were mark'd with Blood. , 
Yet filentftiil Ihe pafs'd and nnrepioing ; 
Her ftreaming Eyes bent erer on the Earth, 
Except when in fome bitter pang of Sorrow, 
To Heav'n Ihe feem'i] in fervent Zeat to raife, 
And beg that Mercy Man deny'd her here. 

Sb. When was this piteoos Sight f 

Bill. Thefe laft two Days. 
You know my Care was wholly bent on yon, 
'To find the happy Means of your Deliverance,- 
Which bot for fiTii;?//)^/' Dcaft Ihad notgain'd. 
During that Time, altho' I have not feen her. 
Yet divers trully Meffcngers I've fent. 
To wait about, and watch a fit Convenience 
To give her fome Relief: but all in vain : 
A churlifh Guard attends upon her Steps, 
Who menace thofe with Death that bring herCorDfor^ 
And drive all Succour from her. 

Sb. Let '-em threaten; 
Ijct proud Oppreflion prove its fierceft Malice i 
So Heav'n befritnd my Soul, as here I vow 
To give her Help, and fiiarc one Fortune with her.

The fev'ral fecret Springs that move the Paffiooi i 
Hai Mercy £x'd her Empire there fo fure. 
That Wrath and Vcngearice ncvff may return ? 
Can you refume a Husband's Name, and bid

5^. Why doll thou fearch fo deep.and urge my Memoiy i 
To conjure up my Wrongs to Life again f 
I have long labour'd to forget myfelf. 
To think on all Time, backward, Uke a Space, 
Idle and void, where nothing e'er had Being t 
But ihou halt peopled it again j Kevenge 
And Jealoufy renew their horrid Forma, 
Shoot all their Fires, and drive me to Diftraflion. 

Betl. Far be the thought from roe! my Care was only 
To arm you for the Meeting ; Better were it 
Never to fee her, than to let that Name 
Recall forgotten Rage, and make the Husband

Which to preferve my Peace I had call alide,

How .have I gaz'd upon her I till my Saul 
With very Eagernefi went forth towards her,

Oh! who can paint my Grief and her AmaEememl

Endure the beating of a Storm fo rude ? 
Can flie, for whom the yuioaa Seafons chang'd. 
To court her Appetite, and crown her Board, 
For whom the foreign Vintages were prefs'd. 
For whom the Merchant (pnad his £lken Stores, 
Can flic ■- 

Intreat for Bread, and want the needful Raymenf, 
To wrap her flii»ettog Boforo from the Weather ? 
When flie was mine, no Care came ever njgh her. 
I thought the gentleft'^reeze that wakes theSprinff 
Too rough to breathe upon her ; Chear fuinefa 
Danc'd all the day before her ; and at night 

Soft Siumbera waited on her downy Pillow .'■ ■
